Paa - a film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Abhishek Bachchan, is about a child/kid who is affected by a rarest-of-rare disease called PROGERIA.
Progeria is a very uncommon disorder occuring one in eight million live-births in the world. Progeros is a greek word meaning "ageing prematurely", and the children afflicted by this genic disorder age quite faster, at 6 to 7 times the normal. Though their real age maybe 8 or 10, their looks, organs and other physical conditions are similar to 60 ot 80 years' old persons. Normally they dont live beyond 13 years, thanks be to God, and they die mostly because of stroke. No cure has been found till date.
One such child is born to Vidya whose politically-ambitious lover abandons her once he knows that she has conceived. With immense and excellent support from her widowed mother, Vidya delivers the baby and is shocked to know that the child is progeric. But she and her mother are determined to nurture the baby and take care of him against all odds.
Amitabh is the child and Vidya Balan is the mother. A 6'2" tall, 67 years of age AMITABH has shrunk to a 13 year progeric kid -- oh, what a stupendous, fantastic, moving performance by this greatest actor-ever! Vidya Balan as the unwed mother has matched AB in performance. (Incidentally, both Amitabh and Vidya Balan have won the Filmfare awards as Best Actor and Actress; and also Screen Awards for best actor and actress.)
A must-to-be-seen film if only for these two. See at the earliest..

totally agree with you, mama. amitabh has done which no other actor would venture to do(maybe kamal would try to do). nice acting by both vidya balan and amitabh.
ReplyDeleteDear Chittappa,
ReplyDeleteWe have seen this movie twice before yesterday. By this role he has set a benchmark, too difficult for other actors to emulate. It is even more creditable that he has done this at the age of 67 years!!! He is getting better and better with every film. Black, PAA are some of the movies which can be watched many times.
Looking forward to watch his latest flicks RANN and TEENPATTI
